#533: Cabal file in UTF-8 format can not be handled by Cabal ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.6.0.2 Severity: normal | Keywords: UTF-8 Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: 6.10.1 Platform: Windows | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- According to http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/Cabal/authors.html , a .cabal file should be a Unicode UTF-8 text file; when I change the file to UTF-8 with notepad, Cabal can not handle it:
runhaskell Setup configure Setup: xyz.cabal:1: unrecognised field or section: "\65279Name: xyz"
Changing this file back to ANSI solves the problem. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/533 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
